Access to the database must remain equal for everyone and free of charge.
I therefore don't think it would be a good idea if we create paying super users who get more rights than others or reward the input of items. With or without points (:-).

I have (part of) my comic collection on Access. That is indeed very versatile (…) but not really easy / user-friendly for the layman.
If I get them all scanned and want a hard copy, I will certainly not do that myself. Just bought a set of ink cartridges: 45 Euro and that flies through when you are printing a bit. Moreover, you can never come close to the quality of such a Catawiki catalog.

Exactly, having a book printed is simply cheaper and more beautiful.
Seems like an easy choice to me.

On the other hand, if you want to quickly print a list with covers, whether or not in black and white, it would be nice if you could.

Regarding pay / points system, one more thing in addition :)
But I already read certain feelings about paying for the use :) lol..always a sensitive point.
From that income, a development team may be hired whose core task is to improve the collectors section of this website.

I now expect that the developers will focus more on the shops, which in itself is very logical, given the fact that money can be made with them, how much still needs to be renovated, no idea, how much time it will take takes, no idea.

Who knows, the people on Catawiki may be able to give a little more insight into this. (kind of long term concise road map). So no details, only main lines.

After all, it is always difficult to think for others

Yes, that's why people have to do that themselves.

A number of important improvements for stores have already been made.
There are still a few things in the pipeline, but not that many.
That's really not going to take up all of the developers' time.

What you may also not realize, since you have just joined Catawiki, is that a lot has improved since the start of the site. When you start a site like this, you automatically come across things that should have been set up differently.
After all, one learns the most by doing.
So far, these adjustments have all been done by 1 developer.
Soon there will be 3 developers working for the site.
The collectors will still get their money's worth.
And of course it is not the case that the site is not working properly now.
Catawiki is already very good, as it is now.

The fact that the focus is now on the shops is temporary.
The collectors are no less important to Catawiki than the shops.
They will not be forgotten

You can still make prints of the website yourself, and you can also adjust the layout yourself.

Not a real catalog, but still nice.

I would prefer that you can print your wish list including images, so that you can go to fairs and the like, and immediately know what exactly you are looking for!

By the way, there is no site in the world for such applications (from imdb to Shelfari) where everything will always be free. Don't forget that just keeping all the info on the web costs money.

Maybe an idea to print your catalog once every 6 months or in parts?

I don't really see the need to print from Catawiki, so paying for it is not an issue for me. I have built my own database in FileMaker since 1990. This has also been available on the iPad for some time now. So I don't need paper to carry around. Within my FileMaker database I also just have a portal to view the Catawiki page that belongs to it live. To be honest, I'd rather old-fashioned have a paper Matla next to it. For me, it is still more accessible and clearer than Catawiki.

That's the only thing I'd like to do. Then it can be said again that you have to fiddle with your own database or download the images and create your own overview, but then the usefulness of a central database is lost a bit ...
I would like to become a kind of Premium member for a one-time donation or pay for an iPhone app, but I don't start manually making my search list visually attractive.

In the meantime, printing (or having it printed) as an option has completely disappeared from the site? So not such a good idea, right?

Perhaps you should enable the export to PDF again?

And yes, I'm willing to pay for it...

Very unfortunate that printing a book is no longer possible

Yep, it was a foolish idea to pay € 150 for a beautiful book that was outdated even during printing.

The kids at Catawiki have always stubbornly refused to make a digital copy available (for a fee). The little right!

I think printing a book was much cheaper and I actually miss it now, now that I have a lot in my collection. Maybe something for the ideas box?

I think it's a shame too. It was obviously not cheap and your collection had to be more or less up to date.

PDF against payment seems a very good idea to me.

I will not need a book with the comics from the collection as it is useless when comics are added. Expanding the collection is fine with the online catalog until there is no internet or you want a more basic overview. In my opinion, the input you have made to gain insight into your collection should also be able to be exported by the site as an Excel file, for example, as is the case now. imported a whole collection for others but for themselves and therefore also want to get the return for themselves. There are all kinds of options for a revenue model such as commission and advertisements and possibly even retail space rental (custom), but I see the print or pdf version more as a nice idea in collaboration with the printing company and therefore not as a serious part of the collection management system because it is not laborious is.

A collection should never be complete! When there was the option to have your collection made in book form, that was usually not the case. However, it is a nice snapshot that you can show to others without having to use your computer or any other digital device.

I'm not going to make the bill for the Catawiki company here, but the proceeds from the weekly auctions must be huge, I think. Can a simple printout of your own catalog as PDF not be technically possible and free of charge?
